At the end of the podcast, there's a throwaway line about the Big Ten being declared unworthy of prime-time television. While that's as may be (Big Ten!!!), my understanding is that the conference prohibits (outdoor) night games after November 1st due to the weather.

Bonus: When I loaded this page, the top banner ad was for the ACC Digital Network ("Get ACCess!") Because, after all, nothing says "potential ACC Digital Network" customer like "reading a Michigan blog." :-)
